It's wonderful to see all the Cook traffic again, although the vast majority seems to be about the English side of the equation. As a descendant of another John Cook, born c. 1770 in Halifax County, NC, whose father was Christopher Cook (Christoff Koch, born in Germany in 1719), I am looking for any information regarding John's wife, Mary "Polly" Green, who according to family records was a "near relative of General Green, who fought the Battle of Guilford Court House with the British General, Lord Cornwallis, on the other side." I have a great deal of information on the Cook-Simpson line who settled in Kentucky in the late 1700s that I'd be glad to share. My road block is Mary and her relationship with General Nathanael Greene. If it would help, Nathanael was married to a Green (no e on the end). Many thanks for any help. Selby L. Cook

Hi, I am continuing to look for descenents of Gurdon W. Cook, New Hartford, Litchfield CT.> Norman Cook CT to NY > Norman W. Cook NY to IN to IA et al. My FTW is at Rootsweb.com and I am also in the Y chromo study at FTDNA and listed at cookgenealogy.com, DNA...I am looking for another male descendent to participate in the Y chromo study, if possible. I suspect my line of Cooks were predominately settled in New England for scores of years before comming from Europe probably the UK.
